Sonlight has developed a love of learning in all three of my children. As a speech-language pathologist, I was excited by the rich language and vocabulary each Core contains. Each of our kids absolutely relishes the Sonlight books. I'm personally excited to re-use our first Core this year for Faith and am blessed to watch her love of learning grow as richly as her brothers. Here, Jameson (11, Core F) teaches Faith (5, Core A) how to use The Timeline Book (#RR120) to track world history.

"Learning through literature enables my kids to feel like they know the characters and to gain a deeper understanding of the past and the world around them. We considered going back to a textbook approach for high school, but after one tedious chapter in a history book, we were reminded what a difference Sonlight makes. My younger kids could answer the test questions better than my high schooler who read the textbook because they'd been reading about the same period in The Story of the World. Making history come alive is a much better way to learn!" In their family's ninth year of Sonlight, Anna (11, Level 100) and Ellie (8, Level D) are eager to open their Box Day treasure.– Bethany N of Yorktown, TX

The Instructor's Guide helps me to be prepared each day, with lessons that I'm confident of and interested in teaching. The Markable Maps and the History Timeline Figures have given me a big-picture view of world history and geography that I lacked after all my schooling, including college! The characters in the Read-Alouds feel like family and become part of our daily discussion, teaching and training. Hanna (4, P4/5 Multi-Subject), Claire (7, Core B) and Dad observe tadpoles scooped from a neighbor's pond on a rainy day.
